Obviously this will very much depend upon the country and its laws but as a principle, I believe that I am correct in thinking that if I killed somebody with my car, that had been maintained correctly and has the required test certificate (e.g. MOT in the UK), by way of a unforeseen mechanical failure, e.g. tyre blow out, I would not be held responsible for that person's death. It would be classed as an accident.
What would the situation be with a drone should an unforeseen mechanical failure occur?
Obviously there is no means of independently verifying the condition of the drone prior to the failure.
